Abstract
Pediatric cases represent a small part of COVID-19 cases reported
worldwide and children seem to be mostly asymptomatic. The specific
risks for patients in pediatric oncology wards are not well known yet.
We describe here a pediatric hematopoietic stem cell transplant
recipient infected by SARS-CoV-2. Despite being at high potential risk
of a severe form of COVID-19 the patient we report only presented a
rhinitis. She developed anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgM at D14 and IgG at D56 only
and had a positive RT-PCR after 42 days. So far, it seems that in this
fragile population COVID-19 is largely pauci-symptomatic.
